Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Actually I've just been saving BEFORE i even put in the test parents so I just start immediately on the first save and there is no need to reject an egg I feel (til ur undesired spread comes along).
But i've had a lot of success with this method! Sometimes I have potential for a 6IV egg and...
Unfortunately, my Horsea doesnt have a HA. So...is it ok if I use my HA Bidoof?
I'll have to say that there was once, when I used my test parents (the Horsea & Bidoof) to find the IV spread I want, I then placed a female with HA and another male into the system and found out that HAs were...
I tested this again using my Sniper horsea/0iv bidoof test parent and the child gained Ability 1 (Swift Swim) which had 20% chance of passing down from the female since we knw that for the OTHER ability to be passed, there was only 20% chance. So I tried it on my Vullaby with Big Pecks, thinking...
Great post! HAHA I also discovered this above and I think it's really helpful :D
EDIT!!! ::
Actually is ABILITY locked WITH Gender?
For example:
I used Skrelp with Poison Point (Ability #1) and the child had Poison Point.
I subtituted with Omanyte with Shell Armor (Ability #2) and the child...
Ahh I see.
I have another question about Abilities.
Lets say my parent Inkay has Contrary and the offspring turned out with Suction Cups, does that mean if I put in a Suction Cups parent, I will get an offspring with Contrary?
EDIT:
Ok I think 1st Ability OR 2nd Ability are locked. I bred an...
OH ! the spread will be the same?? Ah crap I thought the IV spread only locks for the Pokemon in the SAME gender ratio.
But a different story applies for PURE Male/Female+Ditto and Genderless Pokemon+Ditto? Such that the IV spread will be different? Or will it still be the same?
So..If I use a 100% Male + Ditto as a test parent, then I swap with a 100% Female + Ditto for the actual. Would the spread be the same in this case since the gender ratios of the Pokemon are the same?
If I use a 50-50 gender ratio test couple, I can only use another 50-50 couple for the actual breeding is that right?
I wana ask about Pure Female/Pure Male Pokemon. Im assuming I cant follow the 50-50 result from the test parents with that gender ratio.
So If I breed a male pokemon with ditto...
Ahh! thanks for ur help! I actually do have a pair of 31/31/31/x/31/31 Magikarps. So...in that sense, I would safely removed SpA out of the picture? I wouldn't know which parent passes down the SpA stat is that right? But what I do know would be if any other stat gets randomised (then that would...
